Scheduled Injury

An injury specified in workers compensation law as having a certain period of time during which one receives disability payments. For example, a thumb injury may be a scheduled injury if the workers comp law specifies 15 weeks of disability payments.

They include increasing awards for scheduled injuries from $145 per degree of impairment to $305; requiring employers with more than 10 employees to set up labor-management safety committees; and requiring reinstatement of injured workers to their former job (if it still exists) for up to three years, even if a replacement has been hired.
